Readers are prompted to keep some for themselves and give selected cut-outs to others. For example, a cut-off statement could be used as a bookmark or a reminder, to share with friends or lovers in cards, letters or with gifts. It could be used as an informal announcement on a work or community bulletin board, or simply presented to a loved one.
